SOC 101 - Introduction to Sociology

4 credits

Sociological thinking is a significant means of self-understanding which then can be turned back to cultivate an understanding of the social world. Studying sociology can be a liberating experience that enlarges our sympathies and imagination, and transports us to an awareness of cultural settings different from our own. Sociology allows us insights into the working of social institutions, social differences, and social change in our micro and macro contexts. We will learn how these multiple forces influence our day-to-day lives. The practice of sociology enhances the possibilities of advancing human freedom in our globalized world.
